Any diagrams for an engine rebuild?

Postby 91tbrick » Wed Jan 31, 2007 6:30 pm

I've got my haynes manual and every last gasket that can possibly go in my engine, a volvo b28, but there is far more gaskets then the haynes seems to describe. If anyone has an exploded diagram of the various areas of a prv engine so I can figure out where everything goes it would be appreciated.
Also need a pic or two of what the turbo manifolds look like to try and develop something along the lines of them. To give you an idea of what the volvo version looks like check out this auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Volvo-B2 ... enameZWD1V
After stripping a head I think this may weight as much as a head, as you can see there is no proper flow oreven runners for that matter so I need to build something better I can add turbos to.

I had some left over from the gasket kit I bought listed for Volvo .I assumed they were only used on Volvo and not required on the Renault , but perhaps not :?

Thanks for the links, they look like just what I needed. Doesn't look like those would be the best improvement, almost anything would be better then the volvo version but I'll have to design something that flows better.

Teh generic gasket kits consist of a lot mroe gaskets and seals than the standard engine consists of.

I recommend binning everything except the head gaskets, the front and rear mains, the water pump feeds (gastets and O's) and intake O's. Gunge the rocker & timing covers and cam covers on.

(copper washers excepted)

Sump gasket is specific before anyone gets smart......
